Ingredients
Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Sandwiches: If you can't find the strawberry cheesecake flavor, you can use any flavor you prefer.
Cool Whip: Make sure to pull it out of the freezer about a half hour or so before assembling your cake. This will allow it to come to room temperature and make it easier to spread on the cake.
Strawberry Ice Cream Topping: You can also experiment with other fruit toppings based on your preference.
Fresh Strawberries: Always choose ripe and juicy strawberries for the best flavor.
How to Make Strawberry Ice Cream Cake
Start by arranging half of the strawberry cheesecake ice cream sandwiches at the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. This will form the first layer of your cake.
Next, spread half of the Cool Whip over the ice cream sandwiches. Drizzle the strawberry ice cream topping over the Cool Whip. Repeat the process with the remaining ice cream sandwiches, Cool Whip, and strawberry topping.
Once you've assembled the cake, cover it with plastic wrap and let it freeze for at least 3 hours. This will make sure that the cake is firm and holds its shape when cut.
Just before serving, top the cake with slices of fresh strawberries. Remember to serve the cake frozen to maintain its structure and to get the full ice cream cake experience.

Tips for Making Strawberry Ice Cream Cake
Here are some tips for making the best Strawberry Ice Cream Cake:
- I used Kroger brand ice cream sandwiches and they should be available at any Kroger store. They are made by Turkey Hill. If you can't find the strawberry cheesecake flavor, you can find other brands with strawberry ice cream sandwiches.
- Proper Layering: When assembling your cake, make sure to spread each layer evenly.
- Chill Time: It's important to allow your cake to chill in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
- Make Ahead: This cake is a great make-ahead dessert. After it's assembled, you can freeze it until you're ready to serve. This can be particularly useful if you're preparing for a party or event.
Leftovers
If you end up with leftovers, make sure to store in an airtight, freezer safe container and store it in the freezer. If you don't have the right container, you can also wrap your cake is plastic wrap and then a layer of aluminum foil.
It can be kept for up to 2 months.

Notes
• The ice cream sandwiches I used are Kroger brand and should be available at any Kroger banner store. They’re also made by Turkey Hill. If no similar ice cream sandwiches can be found, other brands make chocolate ice cream sandwiches with strawberry ice cream as the filling and this would work as well, possibly with chocolate dipped strawberries on top of the cake instead of plain strawberries.
• The cake keeps well in the freezer for up to two months.
